West Side Little League welcomes public to games

"Take me out to the ball game" is a song sung commentating the heritage of baseball.

Today, the West Side Little League teams are having their playoffs, "so you can root, root, root for the home team."

Admission is free and concession stand food is homemade. The second team on the list is the home team.

Thinking about it, I am sure the powers that be at the Voice are happy I never applied for the position of a sports reporter.

This is today's schedule:

Plymouth Phillies at Kingston A's at noon; Forty Fort Kamus Construction at Kingston Yankees at 2 p.m.; Kingston Rays at Swoyersville CWV at 4 p.m.; Kingston Phillies at Forty Fort Edwards Landscaping at 4 p.m.; West Side Storm at Swoyersville Lions at 6 p.m. and West Side A's at Forty Fort 5R Water at 6 p.m.
